  • Had a meal and some drinks here while home for Christmas. I would describe this place as a sort of hybrid neighborhood bar/gastro pub/italian restaurant. They have lots of different sorts of bar food, but the owner is from a very old-school family of Italian grocers from NE Ohio--not sure if it is still there but they use to have the Galluci grocery up in Cleveland I had the chicken soup with shell pasta and it was very tasty. Also had the stuffed banana peppers which were really good stuffed with ricotta and italian sausage. Followed that up with a small serving of spaghetti with a meatball and the "nani's sauce" which was your real deal italian grandma sunday gravy with meat. Other person at my table had an order of wings which also looked good. Not the standard buffalo style sauce but looked like an asian hot chile sauce. I didn't taste them but they looked and smelled good. All of the food was obviously made in house. This is NOT some sysco truck garbage bar food. The only dish that we did not like was the salmon which came in some sort of reduction sauce that was too sweet for our palates. The fish was good, just didn't pair well with the sweet sauce in our view. This may be a personal preference rather than an issue with the dish. If I had to criticize the place I would say that the wait staff was a little slow to get new drink orders, fill water, etc. However, this is a bit par for the course when you are seated in the bar area rather than the tables in many places. Or maybe we were just drinking at a faster pace than they were used to--I was at a table of "pros." I grew up in Brecksville and it was always lacking a local pub with good food so I was glad to find this place and will definitely go back whenever I am home visiting family. The owner and his wife were present and it was obvious that they take pride in their place. I heard that there have been several failed bars/restaurants in this location so I hope that this place breaks the curse because I would definitely go back for some of the italian items. I live in Philly and would say that Peppermill is serving the real deal as far as their gravy, the meatballs, stuffed peppers, etc. Just be careful getting here and leaving! Brecksville cops are legendary a*&holes and you want to watch your speed coming down 82 or 21. I would suggest getting off 77 at Wallings Rd. and coming down Mill to avoid the speed traps!
